The strong winds which blew into Greece during the last several days, bringing enormous quantities of dust from the Sahara desert, have created a rare and unique phenomenon on the island.
The snow-covered tops of the Cretan mountains, including Leuka Ori, have seemingly captured a large amount of the African sand and dust which had been transported in the upper atmosphere all the way from the Sahara in the recent storms.
Comment: In recent times this rare cloud phenomena has appeared over Southern California, UK, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Other strange cloud anomalies seem to be appearing globally with higher frequency and intensity. Factors which may contribute to these 'strange skies' are atmospheric dust loading from increased comet and volcanic activity and changes in the layers of the atmosphere. See also:

An indicator of this dust loading is the intensification of noctilucent clouds we are observing. As explained in Pierre Lescaudron's book, Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection: See also: Chemtrails? Contrails? Strange skies
